Hi. I'm having the same problem, and finding no help with the solution offered up.
The problem--which only happens to word files on my desktop PC, even as the same file works fine on my laptop pc--is that Word 2010 seems incapable of properly handling *all* word templates.
The symptoms:
i have two examples that may help decipher the problem.
1. As noted above by another member, using any document that was originally created from a template file will continually ask upon saving if I want to save the changes to the template ... which makes no sense, since i should be no longer working with a template -- i'm working on a .doc or .docx file now.
2. The other problem -- whenever i open a template document by double-clicking on it, Word is supposed to open not the template but rather an untitled document based on the template, right? well, that ain't happening. instead, it opens every word template file so that you are directly into the template! highly annoying, and a bit dangerous to the template file because many a time I've accidently lost the content of the template because i thought i was editing a regular document based on the template.
In trying your solution, it seems you guidance is not based on word 2010, as there is no tools menu in 2010 per se. i managed to find something similar by navigating to File - Options - Add-Ins - Manage Templates - which brings me to a "Global templates and add-ins" window that is labled "Checked items are currently loaded," as you describe above. But the window is blank -- nothing in it to check or uncheck.
Any other suggested solutions?
